How to play
- Name all 30 teams in the NBA today. The nickname is enough.
- Type them in any order. The clock starts when you tap the box or type. A name counts the moment it’s complete, no need to press Enter. The nickname or the city is enough, unless two teams share it.
- Stuck? Hint tells you something about the next one you’re missing, and costs 15 seconds, off the clock and onto your time. Finish ends the round early.
- Your best result goes on the quiz’s all-time leaderboard: most named, then fastest. Play as often as you like.
About this list
The NBA as of October 21, 2026. The league's current teams.
On this list
There are 30 teams: 15 in the Eastern Conference and 15 in the Western Conference, split into 6 divisions. Going division by division is the surest way not to miss one.
Each of the 6 divisions holds 5: Atlantic Division, Central Division, Northwest Division, Pacific Division, Southeast Division and Southwest Division.
One city name, Los Angeles, is shared by two teams, so when you name one, think of its neighbour.
Each team plays 82 games. The top six in each conference go straight to the playoffs, and the next four meet in the play-in for the last two places.
